If you need a good coffee shop with enough tables to accommodate a work call, playing a card game, or just a unique location that is institutionalizing bean to cup methedology... Parks is it. Also, the team of Baristas are fantastic and thoughtful. Americas brought my wife and I, "two cuties for two cuties." Its those personalized moments of humanity that elevate a coffee shop just as much as flavor profiles and ethical sourcing practices. Keep it up Parks.
I go there weekly to get my coffee and catch up on some emails. Love the coffee and the staff. The environment is chill and you can smell the coffee 2 blocks away since they’re mainly a coffee roasting company. I also like there pastries but I’m not a big sweets person so not the best to ask. Cappuccino or lattes are my go to drink and I’m always happy with the taste.
This was my first time here and I am so impressed!!! I did burn my tongue on my coffee, but I’ll call that “user error” lol. They roast everything fresh and I think they even do tours here! I had a drip coffee which has free refills which is amazing! Ohhh and the monkey bread was delicious! They have the cutest little work area in the back and you can work while watching the roasted so their thing!
I drove about 40 minutes to check this place out, and honestly, it was a big disappointment. Most coffee roasters let you sample before buying, but here they expect you to blindly purchase bagged coffee with no samples, no guidance. The girl taking my order didn’t seem knowledgeable at all, and the staff in general weren’t friendly. I even asked how can we taste coffee samples and she had no clue but obviously they do tours but she didn’t know it. They also don’t take cash like what??? When my order was ready, they just called my name and left the drinks on a rack. For a first-time visitor, that was confusing and felt impersonal. Why am I picking up my coffee like I’m grabbing a package instead of being served? I ordered a white chocolate mocha macchiato, and it was hands down the worst coffee I’ve ever had. It was flavorless, bitter, and straight into the trash. Even my 5-year-old threw away his cake pop. That should say a lot. Between the unfriendly service, confusing setup, lack of knowledge, and bad drinks, I literally want my money back. If this style of service and coffee is your thing, maybe you’ll like it, but it’s absolutely not for me.
Wry cool spot because you can watch coffee get roasted, tested, bagged and shipped as you enjoy it yourself. Large windows look out to the whole operation. Great cold brew. Almond croissant 🥐 was great. Baristas are friendly. But the vibe is the difference maker.
